all my mistakes and yours

i blame a few women, the rest is on me.
my tired heart
is taking
a well deserved
break
from the
trials
and false hopes
i have put it
through.
even with that
in mind
all it wishes
to do
is to give
itself
to someone
that can
understand
and love it
the way
it has always
hoped for.


so i hear
so i hear
through the grapevine
that you are engaged
and to be
married soon.
you,
much like
others from
that time
have drifted apart
as we each
have pursued
our loves in life.
perhaps our friendship
is best confined
to those places
and times
where we were
young.
if you even invited me,
i wonder...
would i go?



distance and proximity.

will we grow
into our dreams
or outgrow
and shed them?
it could
be either.
so it'll
be a surprise
when the moment
finally comes.


we should never be afraid to make mistakes
as long as we are ready to learn from them.
not being able to learn from our mistakes
is perhaps the worst and most unforgivable
thing one can do.


we try each and every day.
if we didn't
what would be the point?
